Moodle Announcements Forum
Each Moodle course has a default forum called Announcements. This is not like most forums, it is a one-way communication tool for the instructor to relay information to students.
Transferring your Course Content
If you have a course previously taught in Moodle it is very easy to get your content moved over into a future/current semester. You are not required to create your online course component from scratch every semester, we can move your pervious course over to edit and revise as needed.
You will notice that when you login to the Moodle dashboard that you have access to the last semester from the drop down list available in the dashboard.

Adding a YuJa Activity to Your Moodle Course
To get started using YuJa, the first step is to create a link within your course. This does a number of things:
- The first time that you do this, an account within YuJa is created for you.
- It creates a course channel within YuJa (with you as the instructor of that course channel and all of your students as student). This allows you to easily restrict content to just the course that the material is associated with (you can always share the content to a wider audience if you want).
- It allows you to quickly access your YuJa content, the video recorder, video editor, and settings for your content.
To get started, first navigate to the course that you would like to start using YuJa in and turn editing on by clicking on the toggle switch in the top right corner of your Moodle page.
